Pain and Basketball.

So, Jesse enjoys playing basketball on a regular basis. Historically speaking, I have been ok with this. However, recent events have led us to see the darker side of basketball. While innocently participating in a pleasant game of basketball last week, Jesse was viciously attacked by a random, middle-aged man. A man who, despite not even having the ball, carelessly (or maliciously) thrust his elbow into Jesse's face, spawning wave upon wave of blood and pain. It's true, he broke his little nose. Don't worry, the middle-aged man left the court immediately, offering no apology or sign of remorse.

It will be a little bit before Jesse will play again...

Moral: never trust the man, the middle-aged man, or sports involving any kind of thrusting or flailing of limbs.

Icing his nose the masculine way.
Icing his nose the way that I suggested--this didn't last for very long...
The day after. If you don't feel sad after looking at this picture, you don't have a heart.

That looks like it hurts. A lot. seriously. someone should hunt down this middle aged man and do something really ridiculously mean to him. like light him on fire or something. I hope Mr. Jones recovers promtly. the whole broken nose thing really isn't very becoming....tell him I said that ;0)
